Finansinspektionens bedömning: en del av de aktörer som beviljar konsumentkrediter hanterar inte insolvensriskerna i tillräcklig grad, brister även i avtalsvillkoren21.3.2024 13:15:00 EET | Tiedote

Finansinspektionen har bedömt hanteringen av insolvensrisker och rutinerna hos de aktörer som beviljar konsumentkrediter i Finland. Mellan dessa aktörer observerades betydande skillnader i hur de hanterar insolvensrisker: De andra kreditgivare som över­fördes under Finansinspektionens tillsyn i juli 2023 har betydligt större brister i sina kreditgivningsrutiner än bankerna. Av dessa andra aktörer som beviljar konsumentkrediter iakttar alla inte heller den lagstiftning som gäller konsumentkreditgivning i sina avtals­villkor. Finansinspektionen förutsätter att aktörerna korrigerar de brister som observerats i bedömningarna.

Finanssivalvonnan arvio: osa kuluttajaluotonmyöntäjistä ei hallitse maksukyvyttömyysriskejä riittävällä tavalla, myös sopimusehdoissa puutteita21.3.2024 13:15:00 EET | Tiedote

Finanssivalvonta on arvioinut Suomessa kuluttajaluottoja myöntävien tahojen maksukyvyttömyysriskien hallintaa ja menettelytapoja. Näiden toimijoiden välillä havaittiin huomattavia eroja maksukyvyttömyysriskien hallinnassa: Finanssivalvonnan valvontaan heinäkuussa 2023 siirtyneillä muilla luotonantajilla oli huomattavasti enemmän puutteita luotonmyöntökäytännöissään kuin pankeilla. Muista kuluttajaluotonantajista kaikki toimijat eivät myöskään täysin noudata sopimusehdoissaan kuluttajaluotonantoa koskevaa lainsäädäntöä. Finanssivalvonta edellyttää toimijoiden korjaavan arvioinneissa havaitut puutteet.

FIN-FSA’s assessment: some consumer lenders fail to manage default risks adequately, shortcomings also in contract terms21.3.2024 13:15:00 EET | Press release

The Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) has reviewed the management of default risks and conduct by parties granting consumer credit in Finland. Significant differences were identified among the market participants in the management of default risk: other lenders that were transferred under FIN-FSA supervision in July 2023 have significantly more shortcomings in their credit granting practices in comparison with banks. Furthermore, some of the other consumer lenders do not fully comply with legislation on consumer lending in their contract terms. The FIN-FSA will require these entities to remediate the shortcomings identified in the reviews.

Bedrägerier och svindlerier i anslutning till betalningar är ett ökande fenomen – enligt Finansinspektionens utredning är det möjligt att förbättra säkerheten vid skötseln av bankärenden19.3.2024 09:55:00 EET | Tiedote

Olika bedrägerier och svindlerier i anslutning till betalningar har ökat kraftigt under de senaste åren. Även de metoder som de kriminella använder utvecklas hela tiden. Enligt Finansinspektionens utredning är det möjligt att förbättra säkerheten vid skötseln av bankärenden bland annat genom att utveckla säkerhetsgränser för nät- och mobilbetalningar samt genom att effektivare monitorera och stoppa obehöriga betalningstransaktioner. Tjänsteanvändarna har också eget ansvar.
